All stationery must adhere to graphic identity guidelines. It is important to never recreate the stationery system but to use the original electronic files or provided pre-printed materials.
In July 2020, the Marketing Office began offering new designs for business cards. In addition to updated graphic elements, the new designs feature the opportunity to add a QR code.
Place an order for business cards.
All business cards must include the following information:
Additional information can be included digitally in the QR code and/or printed on the card. Review the options below to find the right layout for your needs.
With this design, your information can quickly be added to a phone’s contacts list by scanning the QR code. This layout can accommodate up to 10 lines of printed text and can have minimal or more detailed text on the card. Any information submitted in the form that is not printed on the card will be included digitally in the QR code.
This option is only available for the Athletics Department.
Note: Including both the athletics logo and a QR code will necessitate a two-sided design, which will double the cost of your business cards. Be sure to clear this decision with your office or department head.
Special circumstances may impact how the information is displayed on the card. If this is the case, please contact the Marketing Office.
Business cards are available to current faculty and staff for business use only.
All orders for business cards must adhere to the university’s graphics and writing style standards. Information submitted through the request form may be edited accordingly. You will see a proof before your cards are printed.
